Al Wahda beat its host Sharjah with a clean goal, scored by Joao Pedro, with a fatal shot in the calculated time instead of "90 + 4", after the match was heading to a goalless draw in the summit meeting that brought them together yesterday, at the Sharjah Club Stadium in the eighth round of the ADNOC Professional League. For football, Al Wahda reached the top of the competition, equal with Sharjah and Al-Ahly youth with 16 points, and avenged its defeat from Sharjah with a clean goal in the President's Cup final.
The match was led by a Hungarian referee team led by international referee Tamas Bognar, and witnessed a large crowd in the stands.
The first half, which was equal between the two sides in score and performance, ended in a goalless draw, before Al Wahda scored the game's only goal in the second half.
The two teams played the match with all their winning cards, as Sharjah pushed the trio of Spanish striker Paco Alcacer and Brazilians Caio Lucas and Luan Pereira, while Al Wahda coach Manuel Jimenez relied on his attacking strength represented by Tigali, Ahmed Refaat, Alain Marquez and Adrian da Silva.
Sharjah seemed most active in the first half, but his attempts lacked focus along with the cohesion of Al Wahda's defense, while Al Wahda launched during the last half of the first half more than one offensive attempt on the Sharjah front, but it was unsuccessful.
Sharjah defender Shaheen Abdul Rahman saved his team before the end of the first half from a goal of "42", when he removed a Wahdawi ball that was on its way to the net.
In the second half, Sharjah coach Kuzmin pushed the Bosnian player Miralem Pjanic, Osman Kamara and Majid Rashid with a paper, in an attempt to strengthen the offensive side of his team, while Al Wahda coach Ismail Matar pushed a paper in the last minutes, to turn the course of play in the interest of Al Wahda, ending the meeting with a killer goal by Pedro. .
